Hello...
I just got a lovely Triton a few days ago and thought I would join this forum. My bird (Dolly) is only 8 months old per the breeder she was purchased from. Overall she has been wonderful so far and we have no complaints. However, I do have a quick question...
At what age do Tritons stop acting like 'baby' birds? We noticed that she hasn't been taking much if any water in the first 24 hours, so we tried a quick plastic feeding syringe and she went after it like a little chick! Is this normal at 8 months of age? She also doesn't squawk loudly, but will mostly sit and make long whining or squeaking noises, very much like a very young bird.
As far as eating is concerned, she is doing just fine on her own. She eats a mix of fruit and veggies, pellets, treats...all on her own. It's only the drinking water, or lack of it that is concerning.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated....thanks!
